At this time, Wu Qijue realized that the mountain besieged by Wang Rui's army had not yet been captured.

Instead of capturing the mountain, the thieves and heavy artillery on the mountain actually bombarded their rear and the artillery team.

"My lord, there are hundreds of soldiers on the mountain."

"These students are extremely brave, and their sword and archery skills are extremely good, and the officers and soldiers of my right battalion have not been able to capture them for a long time." An officer and soldier of the right battalion stepped forward.

"Order the officers and soldiers of the middle battalion to press up, and when the thieves' firearms are exhausted, kill me." At this time, Wu Qijue only had to continue to fight this way.

We can only hope that the firearms of these thieves defending the city will run out.

On the city wall, several mortar cannons and Franc machine guns are still bombarding.

One by one, the copper fire thunder was thrown to the city as if they didn't want money.

The number of Ming army mines was extremely large.

Since the production of this thing is not as cumbersome as that of firecrackers, and the cost is extremely low.

The material can be copper, iron, or even ceramic, lead, etc.

Therefore, in the configuration of firearms in the Ming army, the number of equipment of fire mines was the largest...

Basically, every Ming officer and soldier can be equipped with three fire mines.

This time, in order to fight this Changhua offensive and defensive battle.

Fubo Town sent more than 2,000 fire and thunder to the defenders of Changhua City.

Fighting, the Ming army and thunder soldiers also slipped away.

The inquisition of the thunder was deliberately twisted in half, then ignited, and after a few breaths, it was thrown into the air.

As a result, the fire and thunder were detonated in mid-air.

Large and small copper and iron sheets pierced the top of the Qing army's head.

In this way, it is useless for the Qing army to lie down.

Almost everyone in the Qing army besieging the city was wounded.

Either the scalp was bruised or the arm was smashed.

The intense pain made the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army wail, but it soon stimulated the blood of these green battalion soldiers.

Many of the Green Battalion soldiers were covered in blood from the copper skin, but they still rushed forward with steel knives and shouted.

On the city wall, the Ming officers and soldiers were still throwing fire and thunder at the city without stopping.

The city was already piled up with layers of corpses of Qing officers and soldiers.

I have to say that the effect of the fire and thunder is indeed amazing, under the absolute numerical superiority, the Qing officers and soldiers who attacked the city died one after another, and there was no chance to set up a ladder.

The Qing artillery team, which was pressed by the heavy artillery of the Ming army in the rear, erected the only few remaining copper cannons two or three miles away.

Changhua City is very large, even if the cannonball is not accurate, as long as it can hit the city wall.

These Qing artillerymen did not expect to be able to hit the Ming officers and soldiers on the city wall at such a distance.

Soon, several shells smashed heavily into the Changhua city wall.

The walls shook instantly.

The Qing officers and soldiers under the city were greatly encouraged, and the generals of the Green Battalion began to gather hundreds of Qing troops to start a fierce attack.

"Archer, ignition." Wang An gave an order, and dozens of archers on the city wall lit arrows soaked in fire oil and shot them dozens of paces away.

The Qing officers and soldiers subconsciously raised their rattan shields, wanting to block these rockets.

But unexpectedly, instead of piercing them, the arrows landed on the ground.

Several Qing army generals grinned, thinking that the thief army in the city had panicked.

But before their smiles could stretch, they froze again.

All I could hear was the sound of explosions coming from my ears.

Dense black smoke billowed thick dirt into the sky.

Pieces of Qing officers and soldiers were blown away by the explosion and fell heavily to the ground.

Explosions after explosions almost plowed the ground beneath the city.

The Qing officers and soldiers who came from the rear were all stupid, looking at the smoky and dusty battlefield in front of them.

Black smoke billowed ahead, and there was barely a living person in sight

。

"What's the situation?" Wu Qijue, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw this, and his eyes were red.

After hearing the sound of artillery, there were at least two or three hundred Qing officers and soldiers who regrouped and rushed forward.

But with the bursts of cannons, only billowing black smoke remained on the huge battlefield.

The Ming troops on the city wall were also stunned by the sound of explosions ten paces away.

"I didn't expect the explosion of this fire thunder canister to be so violent." Wang An also gasped.

The Fire Thunder Canister is nothing new.

It is to fill a clay pot with a large amount of black powder.

In the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army often used thunder canisters filled with black powder to throw at the enemy troops under the city.

It's just that this thing is too gunpowder-intensive and too heavy to throw far.

It is far less flexible and convenient to use than the copper fire mine of the Ming army.

Therefore, in the case of a large number of copper and iron fire mines, there were no Ming generals who liked to use fire and thunder canisters in the defense of the city.

However, in order to take into account the upcoming battle of Changhua City, the generals of the Ming army still sent some fire and thunder canisters to Changhua City.

Later, a craftsman in the Ming army had a whim.

The gunpowder jar was buried in the ground, covered with a thick layer of earth, and oil was poured on the soil, so that the thick line of fire was hidden in the soil and connected to the gunpowder canister.

In this way, as long as the Ming army shoots a rocket into the fire oil mud field, it can instantly ignite the fire oil field and detonate the gunpowder canister hidden in the ground.

The Qing officers and soldiers who attacked the city naturally did not know that the Ming army still had such a trick.

For a time, there were naturally heavy casualties.

In just half an hour of offensive and defensive battles, the Qing army under the city almost left more than 300 corpses.

The Ming officers and soldiers on the city wall only suffered about 20 casualties.

At this time, Wang Rui was also defeated by the soldiers of Xiaoyong Zuozhen, leaving behind the corpses of more than 100 Qing officers and soldiers, and fled back in embarrassment.

"General, this thief is too fierce."

"We have fought dozens of times with the Li people on the island, and we have never seen such a fierce fan." Wang Rui panted and walked over, and there was a gap on the steel knife.

The combat effectiveness of this life is really beyond Wang Rui's imagination.

His own right battalion is much stronger than Liu Bao's left battalion.

But in front of the same number of thieves, they didn't take advantage of it at all.

Instead, he was defeated by these fierce soldiers.

If it weren't for the heavy artillery of the Ming army on the hill that had been bombarding the rear camp and artillery team of the Qing army, and had no energy to take care of him, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the right battalion would have to plant at least half of them.

Look at the right battalion that returned from defeat, and then look at the corpses of hundreds of Qing officers and soldiers under the city.

Wu Qijue's heart was dripping blood, and in less than an hour, he actually damaged a number of officers and soldiers.

What's more, all the siege equipment and chariots were destroyed, and even the artillery team lost more than half.

"This isn't a pirate at all, where did a pirate get such a sharp firearm?"

Wu Qijue looked at Liu Bao who was watching from the sidelines viciously.

Liu Bao was also taken aback by this war.

was glared at by Mr. Wu like this, and his soul was frightened in an instant.

"General, the thieves' firearms on the city wall are really sharp, even if we gather forces to attack again, I'm afraid it will only increase casualties." Wang Rui shook his head, pointed to Changhua City, and said.

"What do you mean? Could it be that I am going to withdraw my troops?" Wu Qijue said coldly.

"What the last general means is that we can send an army to watch the defenders in the city, and we can gather our forces to take the hill not far away." Wang Rui pointed to the hill not far from Changhua City.

"After the last round of testing the attack plane just now, I found that although the soldiers guarding the mountain were fierce, the number was only a few hundred."

"As long as we gather thousands of troops to besiege the mountain. It is bound to be able to capture the mountain in an hour, and then use the thieves on the mountain to attack Changhua City."

Wang Rui pointed to the distance from Changhua City

There is a mountain about a mile or so, explained to Wu Qijue.
